Description
Ayush Adhikari and co-authors studied in 2026 body fat and cholesterol in patients at a healthy choice clinic in Kathmandu, Nepal. Urban heart risk is rising there. Body build and lipid profiles are key risk markers. Yet local data linking them in clinic patients remain thin.
Among 106 adults, the team took life traits, lifestyle, and diet by structured talk. They measured body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, and body fat share by bioelectrical impedance. Blood was tested for total cholesterol, triglycerides, and lipoprotein fractions. Stats tests then linked body fat and linked factors to cholesterol levels. The clinic-based profile helps Nepali clinicians aim weight, diet, and lipid screening at urban patients at risk.
